Vintage Flowers in Thread Crochet

Thread flower doilies are usually made with a white center crocheted in the round. The colorful flowers are crocheted separately. Flowers are attached with a joining row, sometimes in green. Some patterns, such as the pansy patterns, also call for a border around the edge of the flowers.
